The real food may be rotated to its most attractive side but it was also selected because it didn’t have a nice side. I’ve gotten burgers that look that craptastic like once or twice per place in my life. I get your point but manipulating the truth just makes you look like an ass.

I’m not supporting fast food or anything, but this isn’t exactly fair. It is common knowledge in the food industry that any food item does not photograph well. All the safeway brochures and other grocery advertisements also do not display real food.

Everything you see in a pamphlet representing food is actually a plastic representation, and there are professionals that solely do this kind of arrangement and photography for a living.

It is taken from a site that allows you to embed infographics on your own site so they get a backlink to their own. You will notice that link at the bottom of the infographic. So it is in no way stolen. Had I removed that link and not credited it or took it upon my own to copy the image and upload and post without permission then you could indeed call it stolen.

No, I was suggesting they’re better than what (edited for language) you see here. And I was suggesting, totally apart from that, that Belgium rocks. What (edited for language) is wrong with you people always taking on an insult with your whole damn country

since i started going on quests for cheap food at 2am when i’m high and/or drunk. i doubt you’ll find very many intoxicated people that don’t enjoy the taste of a taco bell burrito or a burger king cheeseburger.

Although the actually burgers are really poorly put together, I do have to point out that advertisements are normally done either by computer or are air brushed onto cardboard. The burgers in advertisements are about the size of a human head which means you would never be able to eat it in the first place. The companies should make the burger more presentable and make sure that they are put together in a nice manner when serving them to the public but as the consumer you should know that advertisements are designed to pull you in. They present you with a beautiful looking meal so that you will get off your butt and spend money in their stores. The better it looks when they show you it the first time the more likely you are to come.

I mean by all means you can go and bitch about this but in reality you are the one that will look like an ass when they explain why the burgers look the way they do in the pictures. When I worked in fast food when I started working, we had to explain this to many different people. Though our sandwich guys always put nice and presented sandwiches together, they were never the size of the photo or look exactly like it.

Then why do they advertise it? That would be like saying, well the camera you saw in our advertisement isnt EXACTLY like the one you’re buying. We just wanted you to come buy the camera…does it matter if it isn’t the same camera?

Or

The advertisement you saw for our auto insurance isn’t EXACTLY like that. It’s mostly like that but we wanted to make it look more attractive to you so we beefed it up in the commercial. What you saw is not what you get, duh.

No one is fighting about burgers. Someone just took the time to make a funny representation of the false advertisement by fast food chains. Fast food is exactly that. Fast food. It’s never going to be made with the same care and effort we make our own food with. We eat it anyway. I won’t stop eating fast food and I’m pretty sure no one on here is outraged by this discovery. It just a funny picture. But to say that you have to explain to your ignorant customers that what you see is not what you get, it makes you look like an ass. How dare these people think they will get a burger that is represented in ads and pictures in your restaurant!

You realize they don’t use real food for the advertisements right? The food in the advertisements is all made of plastic. So of course it’s going to look better. However, the real food was cooked, packaged, then thrown in a bag. If you expect it to look good, you’re a moron. Just eat the flippin thing.

did you know that in canada the clown charges .05/a nickel depsit when you buy a apple juice in the plastic
cup (no choice but to ) it is even showen on your till recept. but when you go back to the counter to get your nickle deposit back they tell you to take it to a re:cycling depo .i have had many arguments with the clown’s staff about this they even phoned the police on me because i refused to leave until i got my deposit back. the police told me to leave even after 4 other customers came up to my defence i have tryed to contact the clown e/m phone calls letter no response if you search the clown’s website there is a lot of pages about thier recycling program . i refuse to go to buy from the clown i also forbid my kids to go to the clown please pass this this info to as many people you can
ps: try it your self you’ll be be pissed too

As a Canadian I can say the “deposit” is for the plastic cup. To get your deposit back. Take the cup to any one of the thousands of recycling depots in every area. They will refund your money. It’s an incentive system for recycling. It applys to cans and bottles as well. The first person here is just a tad ignorant.

Anyone who takes up a large amount of someone else’s time over five cents when you’re buying a meal at a cut rate price already is a waste of space — you are not standing up for yourself in any way. I feel they were completely within their rights to call the police on you if you were disrupting their business and refused to leave.
This is equivalant to buying a bottle of cola at a small convenience store and then harassing the shop owner for not giving you your 10c deposit back. Deposit is a surcharge imposed by the government to encourage consumers to recycle. It’s not their personal responsibility to handle your waste for you. I think it’s horrible you would treat the minimum-wage-slaves at McDonalds in this manner, they have it bad enough already and they obviously don’t have the ability to change the policies of a multinational corporation.
Grow up, and shame on you!
